Yes — Simply Chicken 10 Chipolatas is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This chicken sausage is ultra-processed because its seasoning contains several industrial additives and formulations: preservative (sodium sulphite), yeast extract, natural flavouring, spice extracts, and herb extract. These are specifically identified as UPF ingredients; the seasoning also includes antioxidant (ascorbic acid) and acidity regulator (citric acid). The calcium alginate casing is an industrially formed casing, further indicating processing. Therefore, the product is classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

Yes — Simply Chicken 10 Chipolatas by Heck is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This chicken sausage is ultra-processed because its seasoning contains several industrial additives and formulations: preservative (sodium sulphite), yeast extract, natural flavouring, spice extracts, and herb extract. These are specifically identified as UPF ingredients; the seasoning also includes antioxidant (ascorbic acid) and acidity regulator (citric acid). The calcium alginate casing is an industrially formed casing, further indicating processing. Therefore, the product is classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
